Description
Okay, it's not Christmas yet. But still...lolwanted to draw something from the film Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence so badly...
Most people know it from this well-known melody
[link]
The song is hopelessly beautiful
and I just want to say-- So is the film
and it's not just because David Bowie or Ryuichi Sakamoto or homoerotic tensions in the film.
I really like how the film portrayed the sense of Unitarianism.
Out of topic, but still...

Very very beautiful!
If you are looking for fellow fans of the movie (and the music and homoerotic tension ^_^) I recomment this lj community:

I wish I was mature enough to say that it wasn't partly the homoerotic tensions for me.
But I loved the nature of those tensions - they barely spoke or touched; the whole feeling - the whole love-story - was based on this very chaste admiration, and this desire to reach out to something beyond one's own culture that one doesn't, and maybe never can, understand. So maybe that is unitarianism.
And it has to be the music as well. Ouch, that music.
Anyway, do you really want to listen to me rambling philosophically about the film? Probably not; you want to hear my opinion of your drawing, so: yay fanart for this film! I love the delicate shape of the hand; it's exaggerated stylisation which captures the characters and the differences between them. Ciao!
True

Ah, sorry for such a late reply.
And it's totally fine, I'm glad to listen to philosophical rumbling about film~
I practically made the fanart to hear some (it's kinda hard to find someone I can talk with about the film)
Love your fan-writing on the film, btw!

Yay, first comment (apart from my staunch friend who always comments). I know how you feel; not one single person I've mentioned this film to so far has heard of it.
